| dc.description.abstract | This study analyzes Angela Carter’s novel Night at the Circus from the perspective of feminism. Female characters of the novel like Fevvers, Lizzie, Madame Schreck and Christian Rosencreutz resist patriarchy by revolting against socio- economic, cultural and political discourses and try to establish liberty and equality for women. Carter allegorically presents prison which was broken by females at midnight that refers to the male dominated society which subverts by females with female right movement. By using various narrative events she induces the urgency of subversion of patriarchy and her characters finally ready to subvert the patriarchy by breaking the prison. | en_US |
